“God will wipe away all tears from their eyes ….” You know this promise, now discover the scene in heaven when this will happen and who God is comforting. Hint: Most of them laid down their lives for Christ in the Tribulation, but now they stand before God’s throne, dressed in white robes because of the blood of the Lamb. Get ready for a beautiful study in Revelation 7.
God never leaves Himself without a witness. Get a peek into how the gospel spreads in the Great Tribulation and people from every tribe of Israel and every Gentile nation respond to God’s grace. And you won’t want to miss the scene of universal worship of God by His creatures. The church is there, Old Testament saints are there, Tribulation saints are there, and the angels join in. This is an amazing study.
Just when chaos is breaking loose on the earth, the time of judgment is shortened or else no one would survive. In this suspenseful study of the second half of the Tribulation, we’ll study things like “the mark of God” (in contrast to the “mark of the beast”), the 144,000 Jews, and the remnant from the nation of Israel. God remembers His people. Things are starting to come together—don’t miss one study.
Our study in Revelation 7 follows God’s judgment into the Great Tribulation. The Holy Spirit continues His ministry of drawing people to Christ, but the Spirit no longer restrains evil on the earth. Satan has free reign to do as he schemes. God’s judgment is held back until His purposes are accomplished. Then as now, tribulation either draws us to God or turns us away from Him. Don’t miss this captivating study.
Our study now plunges into the ominous second half of the Tribulation when death becomes unbridled. We’ll look at the great day of the Lord, spoken of throughout the Old Testament. But remember, God loves good and hates evil—but His hate is not vindictive like ours, but is righteous and holy. Study Revelation 6, when holiness has its day.
Are the four horsemen of the apocalypse getting ready to ride? Are we getting near the end? Maybe so—but it won’t happen until the church is taken out of the world. Learn about the antichrist, his lies about world unity and peace, and about the four horses--white, red, black, and pale horses, each riding in on a storm of judgment, following a pattern Jesus described in Matthew 24. Roll up your sleeves and dig into this awesome study.
Revelation 6 is a dividing line in the book of Revelation. Now we see what’s going on back on earth without the Church (now with Jesus in heaven). The drama continues as the Great Tribulation unfolds in orderly progression—seals, trumpets, bowls of wrath, judgment, ending the Tribulation. Then comes Jesus Christ to earth for the second time to execute God’s will. You won’t want to miss one thing.
If you’ve ever been a part of a great worship service—where Jesus’ name is lifted high by everyone singing with all their hearts—then you’ve had a glimpse of heaven! That’s the scene we’ll hear more about in our study of Revelation 5 with Dr. J. Vernon McGee when all creation will worship Jesus Christ as Savior and Sovereign of the universe.
Have you ever thought about just what you’ll be doing in heaven? You won’t be bored, that’s for sure. In this study of Revelation 4 we get a look into the throne room of heaven and catch a glimpse at some of the ways we’ll spend our time in God’s presence. We’ll hear about the first great worship scene in heaven—and about four living creatures, 24 elders, and a book with seven seals.
Now in our continuing study of Revelation, the scene shifts from earth to heaven. Jesus is central, directing all events as the Lamb who died for the sins of the world; He is now the Judge at the throne of God. Only the Holy Spirit could describe what we read about heaven in this passage. Get ready for awesome things.
In this, the final study in the seven churches of Revelation, invite the Holy Spirit to teach you this special message from the Lord Jesus to all the churches. Enjoy the picture of fellowship as the Lord Jesus knocks at the heart’s door of the sinner. If you open the door to let Him in, “I will come in and dine with him.” Come feed on the Word of God and get to know Christ better.
The church at Laodicea was rich and in a rich city. Money was important to them. They were self sufficient. Worldly wealth was their measuring rod for success while spiritual values were ignored. Find out how Jesus described them (it’s not pretty) and take to heart His charge to turn back to Him and get on fire for God.
An onsite visit to the church in Laodicea explains why Jesus had only condemnation for this church. “Lukewarm” described their water system and their compromised devotion of Him. How could they be so half-hearted towards Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, the Faithful Witness, the Amen Himself? Listen with your whole heart to discover how not to lose your fervor for God.
In this study of Revelation 3, Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells us about a church that was true to the Word of God. The church of Philadelphia represents all churches the world over that remain true to preaching and living out God’s Word. Dr. McGee loved one verse in this passage so much it became Thru the Bible’s theme verse.
If you visited the church of Sardis in the first century, you could only get in the city by one entrance. The city itself was on the top of a mountain, secure unless the guards fell asleep. To this church, the Lord says, “Wake up and watch out! Don't you go to sleep!” If you feel a little drowsy, dive into this study of Revelation 3 with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
The letter to the church in Thyatira was a warning. Jesus is judging His church. He is pictured with eyes like fire, searching them out. His feet are like burnished brass, representing judgment. But Jesus also commended them for their love for Him and how it prompted works of service, faith, patience, and endurance—all produced by the Holy Spirit. A practical study from Dr. J. Vernon McGee on this fifth church of Revelation.
Did you know Satan has a base of operations on earth? Jesus revealed through the apostle John where Satan’s headquarters were in the early days of the church in this study in Revelation 2-3. Dr. J. Vernon McGee reminds us today that even though Satan is loose and ruling like the prince of this world, Jesus promised He was greater than any spiritual enemy. We know who wins.
As the Bible Bus arrives in Revelation 2, we’ll hear about the suffering the people in the church in Smyrna experienced. Likely you’ve seen your share of suffering, too. While we hate pain and try to avoid it, God’s Word teaches us God uses it for our good. Our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, addresses the important question, “Why do God’s children suffer?” and one of his answers may surprise you.
Remember when you first came to the Lord? Remember your enthusiasm? Your commitment? Your love for Him? The promise of this first letter to the church of Ephesians is that if we’re in right relationship with Jesus Christ, then all other relationships will right themselves, too. The secret is turning—maybe it’s turning your back on sin, maybe it’s turning back to God, maybe it’s turning to Christ for salvation for the first time. Come ready to listen and do what God prompts you to do.
Ever wish you could get a personal letter from Jesus? Well, seven churches in Asia did. They came through the apostle John’s pen but were inspired by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Dr. J. Vernon McGee calls these “God’s love letters to churches.” They were an encouragement and sometimes a warning to the first recipients of this message, and they do the same for us who listen to them today.

I don't see The Gospel of John?
wow!!! I am dealing with depression and loneliness at the moment , and this is exactly what I need ! I'm speechless.
I once heard a pastor say with a touch of humor that, if you're down, you should probably stay away from Lamentations and go instead to the Thessalonian books. And, in gaining insight from Dr. McGee into how right on God allowed the people in this Church to be, I can see why! They were super-young believers whose only real struggle was with an accurate understanding of how God would end the present age - other than that, they sound like they are really established in their Faith by God's Grace and Power. They are a serious encouragement to me and my fam in how to live for and in Christ in the midst of a less-than-ideal world. Good stuff, by Mr. J. Vernon McGee! Btw, that same pastor said that, when Christians actually read the book of Lamentations, they should do so only after finishing the Thessalonian epistles. 😆
This book, I admit, is my least favorite book. I'm sure there's some very good insight that Mr. McGee can offer.
Love my faithful servant of the Lord!!!!
